what is masetupcleaner.exe

I wish I had found this page before I had downloaded, installed and had several emails back and forth with Samsung trying to get the Horrid Kies to work..... I am running Windows 8 and have had nothing but trouble with this program crashing and MAsetupcleaner.exe permissions popping up all the time.  After reading all of these posts I have decided not to upgrade my phone to a Samsung Galaxy, which I was really looking forward to getting as I'm really happy with my Samsung Tablet, I am very annoyed that I can't sync my devices with my computer, if anyone can recommend another program that will work with Samsung products and Windows 8 to sync data I would greatly appreciate it.

I had an hour with Samsung on the phone today. The guy did a remote conection to my PC and helped me get my files off the phone and into my PC through the correct usb driver: I have it but cannot send it to you on here. I got it through Driver Genious Professional installed wich I also wish I could give you.

The best bet is book a phonecall from them on the help page and do the same as me. If you haven't got the USB driver he'll help you get it.

They are posting me a USB key with software in it so that I can sync my phone with the PC.

I complained about KIES and it leaving behind the MASetupCleaner.EXE and he said he's never heard of it. I explained the process etc and I'm a retired IT engineer and he put me on hold for 10mins of music and then came back with the software on the key idea.

If it's found in the wow64 folder then delete it and then run 'regedit' as an administer and look in HC Local machine for the software link. Find the WOW64 folder at the bottom and delete all of MASetupCleaner.EXE. Do the same on 'HC Current user'.

restart your machine and it should be gone.

Good luck

PS. Look in program files and even though you have uninstalled KIES you will find the program is still there. I can remember if it was just program files or program files86 so check them both. Just delete it.

C:\windows\program files (or 86) if you have a 64bit system you will see the 2.

I had the same issues with my samsung and then i found airdroid (http://web.airdroid.com/) and my troubles are over. i've uninstalled kies (which took an age to install in the first place) but now that i've rebooted my laptop up popped this MASetupCleaner.exe. and here i am...

I notied the same thing on Hibernation and now realize it happens to be around the same time as I installed Kies.  Maybe it has malware attached it it which affects hibernation and installs those Masetupcleaner.
